The new GTA Virtual Automotive Training applications take the ‘auto shop’ class of years ago to a whole new level.

SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB)June 26, 2017

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, many of the fastest-growing jobs through 2022 will be in career and technology education (CTE) fields. To help ensure that schools can leverage the power of mixed reality to prepare students for jobs in these growing fields, Silicon Valley-based mixed reality education provider, zSpace, today announced new additions to CTE applications on its platform, with automotive training courses from Shenzhen

GTA Education Tech Ltd., a leader in smart education solutions in China.
Unveiled today at ISTE 2017 in San Antonio, the new GTA Virtual Automotive Training uses zSpace’s mixed reality environment to give students hands-on experience with all of the essentials of auto mechanics as they explore and repair engines, the clutch, transmissions, the powertrain system, wheels and axles, suspensions, and steering and brake systems. They’ll be able to look at these complex mechanical systems from all angles, learning how they work and practice making repairs in mixed reality.

“The new GTA Virtual Automotive Training applications take the ‘auto shop’ class of years ago to a whole new level. Traditional textbooks and courseware are two-dimensional and hands-on training with actual cars is irreversible and expensive,” said Paul Kellenberger, zSpace president and CEO. “With these applications, students practice repairs and techniques repeatedly, building strong skills, and schools save money and space, and better prepare students for the work force.”

GTA Virtual Automotive Training and all of zSpace’s mixed reality applications for learning will be featured on the company’s Virtual Reality Tour Bus, Booth #3519, at ISTE 2017, June 26-28, in San Antonio.
